Uh? First of all it should be 73 (what listed plus three dots).
In the second place, do you mean "allowed" as in " what *I* arbitrarily
set as a limit in my code" or "allowed" as in " Standard so and so
dictates this"?
If so, which standard?
OK for the tld part, but domains like:
mywww.subnet.domain.com
(leftmost substring > 3char, more than three substrings) do exist.
